Testing Protocol

Illuminance measurements were all taken at an approximate distance of 5.1 meters from bulb filament to test screen. Voltage was regulated at 13.7v to represent real world median line voltages. Test points on screen represent the turn signal photometric requirement angles as defined in the FMVSS108 regulation. The primary test points that hold the highest minimum intensity requirements is located in the middle five test points (numbered 1 and 2) which I will call the “priority center zone”.

Overview

The XenonDepot Xtreme VF LED is a retrofit LED bulb that replaces the incandescent turn signal and brake light bulbs found in your headlamps and tail lamps. Unlike other typical LED bulbs where you simply swap out with the original bulb, the XTR VF LED is a complete module that replaces both the bulb AND socket. But what makes this LED bulb more unique than all others is its exclusive VF optic. Continue reading “Testing: XenonDepot XTR VF LED bulbs -PART 1-“

A few months back I posted a brief showcase of the new Osram LEDriving HL H11 Gen2 headlight bulbs (67211cw). These were the new updated version of their LED headlight bulb range which was designed to be more compact and have better fitment compatibility. While that is great and all, what is more important is how they perform in headlamps. Continue reading “Testing: Osram LEDriving HL H11 Gen2 headlight bulbs”
